john, as new foreign minister says that an invisible hand is driving the escalation of the war and ukraine to sub job political agendas. chung cold for dialogue between russia and ukraine. he addressed the media and beijing outlining the country's foreign policy objectives. when johnny rebel, we will take it as a mission to defend chinese interests. we firmly oppose any form of her geminus and power politics. we firmly oppose the cold war mentality is based confrontation and acts to contain and whole back other countries development. we will resolutely safeguard china, sovereignty security and development interest. let's go to katrina. you live for us and beijing. katrina, no doubt, a lot of eyes and ears. listening to the new foreign minister's speech once stood out for you. well, she's gone,

said that after almost 3 years of treat curve and policies and focusing inward on the pandemic, china is back and it's going to press what he said was the acceleration. but when it came to its diplomacy and a big question, the people had and their mind was with the new foreign minister, whether we would see any change of direction, possibly a softening of tone from beijing. but it seems not. we heard quite a strident ching gong, a pushing forward tried his method, wanting to project enough as a defensive global security, a defender, multilateralism. i think very importantly, china, more than ever wants to set itself apart from the united states and project itself forward as an alternative global leader. and it's appealing, very specifically, maybe not to western countries, but to the developing world that may be more open to china's message. now, for minutes, the hidden gung is the former chinese ambassador to the united states. so he has had a front seat. some of these difficulties in the. 2 worsening ties,

and that relationships he said quite a lot of time criticising washington for those was sitting ties. he said that it was the us who did not want to veer away from viewing china with a cold war lens. he accused the u. s. of allowing domestic politics to drive its approach to china. and also said that it was using competition as an excuse to suppress chinese firms. so he said that as the 2 largest economies in the world that was simply too important for the global community, not to get this relationship right. and he had a warning. he said that no amount of god rails would be useful into venting this relationship from spiraling, potentially into a dangerous conflict. if the u. s. did not change its approach to china, also, she actually implied that the u. s. was partially responsible for fanning the flames in ukraine by, by providing military and other support to ukraine in that conflict. a china also

signaling that it's not going to veer away from its constant support of russia during this war. it has still not condemned russia for this invasion, and it's likely would not ever going to see any sort of condemnation from aging on that matter. and katrina, taiwan, all sir. sticking point between the u. s. and china. what did the foreign minister have to say about taiwan? so woods from chin gung on taiwan and said that for the united states, taiwan is the 1st red line. it must not course. now he rather st. and rebuffed any claims or comparisons between ty one and ukraine and said that strictly this is a domestic matter that taiwan is an inseparable part of china. of course, it's a self ruled island with strong relations and it's an ally of the united states. but china sees the united states as continue to interfere in that massive,

which it says is a domestic affair. so going forward we see no change in time is approach to taiwan and chin gung indeed said that beijing will continue to take any necessary steps towards reunification. okay, thank you for that. katrina you that for us live in beijing. let's get a little more analysis on this. we can speak to andrew k, p long. he's an international independent journalist, and he joins us now live from hong kong. thank you for your time, sir. so with the foreign ministers, comments on russia, the more turbulent the world is, the more china russia relations must advance. how far do you think china we'll go to support russia? ah, i'm not sure. our guest. i'm afraid i can to k canada asking me yes. can you hear me, sir? yes, i get. what are you asking me then?

yes, i'm talking to now. can you hear me? we're live on our now just or a 1st of all, i think the whole, well, the will order has changed quite dramatically because the them not as things actually is no longer able to hold a short time wise a including china. and so the united states feel that many is under existence of threat and as why the united states this is a unprecedented confrontation and push back and the child. okay. ms. longo, miss long can i just repeat my question to you? i think he probably didn't hear it. how far do you think china will go to support russia? well, both china and russia and the both economies are extremely company ment tweak because the russia is the well one of the was largest exporter of energy and they

come through florida. and where's china? is the world's biggest customer? so the 2 companies have been intertwined. well, before the ukraine more and this relationship is slightly continue and intensified all the it doesn't mean that the china would support the want to play because china string lies in the national trade. a been on the other hand, the relationship between china and russia. and in long establish at a slightly because how do you think china views roches setbacks in the ukraine more particularly when it comes to its own ambitions in taiwan? well, i don't think that the situation with ukraine could be applicable to taiwan because china has published with

a peaceful unification. i believe united states or pushing the envelope a lot more space poll. taiwan has the pie one was a separate country and then supplying taiwan with all sorts of bombs and aman, i want to good teeth. so he's a very dangerous gate. on the other hand, i'm going to still be screwed up occasion, as in the case phone calls from tom. look at a home phone with the motherland. in spite of the mr. ok, reluctance on lady mr. long. i'm going to leave that to be the connection to you. is that not very clear, but thank you so much for your time. andrew long international, independent, generally speaking from hong kong. thank 5 palestinians, including a child, were reportedly injured when israeli settlers storm the palestinian town of warren

also says it's concerned about the poisonings and his following developments closely. continue poisoning of schoolgirls across across iran is, is unconscionable. there must be a credible, independent investigation accountability for those responsible if these poisonings are related to participation in protest. then it is well within mandate of the un independent, international fact finding mission on iran to investigate the possibility that girls in iran are being possibly poisoned. simply for trying to get an education is, is saying is shameful. it's unacceptable. and our thoughts remain with the victims of and their families. ah, in spend one months and millions of lives were

refugee camp in cox's bazaar went up in flames on sunday, and i will not be in love with it. we have experienced a similar tragedy. and barbara, now my home hair is gone and i lost everything. we barely managed to get house life from this fire. people who live here say fire incidents are becoming increasingly frequent in the camp. they belong to me on mars minority muslim ro hang our community who have faced years or persecution back home. there are many rowing of volunteers who are not trained by the un and other agencies to deal with such an emergency. when this dia volunteer is like may use many scooters equipped with water tanks and tried to douse the fire to diaby range food, a motor for those who are displaced by the fire incident. i think many of the families who lost their makeshift homes are not living under the open sky. but i believe i just ran with my children. everything is destroyed. we lost everything we had. i guess some of them and i knew the commissioner in charge of the refugee camp

says the government will help those who have been affected. we had taken some decision regarding debility channels, the people who lost their shelters as to at night, actually no one was under the open sky. that was and she'll we provided her foot o dry foot in a initially later on this hoax. men, according to a report by the done with the she ministry of defense, there have been more than 200 fires in the refugee camps since january 2021. most of them were accidents, but at least 60 were caused by arson or sabotage. the fire has slung the spotlight back on the struggles the tramos and tragedies faced on daily basis by everyone here. despite all the odds, many are trying to rebuild their shelters and the same area. this fire is the remainder of the many challenges facing the rowing refugees there caught between

the increasingly dangerous situation in bangladesh and a new political reality of homeland now led by the fame military hunter responsible for the crack down that force them to flee in the 1st place to be children, i'll give it a cox's bizarre bangladesh. more than a 100 accompanied miners have been found inside in the band and trailer in the mexican stage of vera cruz, the trailer had fans, ventilation ports caught into the roof, migrants will color coded response to identify them as the clients of smugglers. they have been a significant increase in the number of people from central america trying to cross into mexico since last year. my newer apollo has moved from mexico city. these humans smugly networks. oftentimes they're very sophisticated. they're very large criminal groups. often they're associated with cartels that have found that it is that they can make more money smuggling human beings that the, than they can smuggling drugs into the united states. and again,

we don't always see these large numbers, 343 migrant stuff to the back of a truck. that is a lot of people. what, but we do see this happening is we do see incidents like these playing out almost every month just last month. that a 14 migrants were killed when a truck fell into a canal, the migrants died of the back of that truck drowned february 19th in the mexican state of war, haka 15 migrants killed during a road accident involving a bus filled with migrants there. and again, unfortunately, these are instances that are likely to continue to occur because every year, tens of thousands of migrants from southern mexico, from central and south america are placing their lives in the hands of human smugglers. because more often than not, they do make their way into the united states. we don't always hear about these cases of large scale human smuggling, because most of the time people make it, it's only when these large accidents are these large numbers of people are found by authorities. do we hear about this on the news? and ultimately at the end of the day,

we know that human smugglers know that it is big business to move people illegally across the mexico into the united states every year. the world bank has reportedly planning to hold talks with nazareth anti immigrant comments made by the president case said has been accused of racism for claiming that there is a criminal plot to change the country identity. 3 legal migration, 100 migrants from other african nations have fled off the wave of attacks. the u. s . says it's deeply consigned by the remarks and reports of arbitrary arrest refugees and migrants who cross to the united kingdom in small boats from france will be expelled from britain and from ever claiming sign him that controversial policy will be announced this tuesday to stay ahead of the 1st summit between the leaders of france and person in 5 years. for britain and reports from coming, it's bitterly cold and damp and these flimsy tents offer very little protection.

you are detained and swiftly removed since 2021. soon ex government has promised $140000000.00 to the french for extra police patrols and improved security. the u. k. also plans to deport migrant to rwanda, although none have actually gone yet. and yet the crossings continue. and so to the efforts of the charities trying to offer support babington's like criminals, when actually they are people fleeing conflicts and pacification. there people who are looking for safety, who in the, from friendship and a safe pass, a to thank for legally humanitarian visa. similar, see, the cleaning theme would be a perfect solution to and a lot of policy. she's the french police, go through the motions every 2 days they break up the camps, but with nowhere else to go, the refugee simply returned immediately. afterwards. louis whitter has spent the last 6 years photographing the situation in cali. the potters in strategy is absurd, i guess. because every 40 hours people start from the campus,

there are no solutions offered to them. there are no centers open to welcome them. for example, they're just told that you have to leave these places, but in the, the british prime minister has pledged to stop the boats. the question is how on the related question is, why do you treat it as a criminal problem to be tackled or the humanitarian crisis to be sold? either way, tens of millions of dollars have been spent until the tide has not been turned pull . brennan, i'll just era kelly police in the u. s. city of atlanta have charged $23.00. people was domestic terrorism, setting fire to parts of police training center, which was on the construction purchase group. say the facility will expand, put militarize policing hottie. jo katherine small surveillance video released by police shows protesters running toward officers in what police called a coordinated attack. atlantis police chief said the demonstrators hurled molotov
